How to write Killer Classified Ad Copy I’ll never forget what my accountant said five years ago when he saw the ad I wrote for my services: “How many scotches did you drink before you wrote this?” He was kidding about the scotch. But he just couldn’t believe anyone in their right mind would write such a bold and outrageous ad for their own writing, consulting and speaking services, as I had. Well, I spent $300 on that ad — $200 to run it in a local trade association directory, and $100 to have it reprinted as a flyer. The…

The State Bar – How Legal Incompetence Generates Oppression The California State Bar’s Office of the Chief Trial Counsel was awestruck and panic-stricken when it lost its motion for entry of default, in a direct test of its legal position against me, the pro se respondent in Case No. 05-R-04605, et. al. I start the account in the middle, with the outrageous misconduct of the Office of the Chief Trial Counsel, through Deputy Trial Counsel Melanie K. Lawrence, Esq. The forum is the State Bar Court’s Hearing Department, presided over by the Hon. Richard A. Honn. Today’s story is merely…

Bible Study Basics Putting the cart before the horse! This common trait, paradoxically, is human nature both at its best and worst. We are good at taking that “leap of faith” and making great strides towards a goal. Yet consistantly we ignore sound planning and preparation – two things what would virtually guarantee our success. Such is man! Embarking on a course of bible study seems to be no different. How often do we ignore the foundational exercises so we can jump right in? Everyone does.

The Cornerstone of American Law There are just a few truly great documents that represent the foundation stones upon which the American system of government was built. One is the Declaration of Independence. Another is The Bill of Rights. But when it comes to the legal girding that we always go back to in order to test if a law in this land can stand or fall, it is the Constitution of the United States of America that is that backbone that defines right and wrong for us. Indeed you might even say that the sole reason we have a…

CPAs vs. Non-Certified Accountants – Clearing Up The Confusion I wish I had a nickel for every time someone asked me what the difference is between CPAs and non-certified accountants. Essentially, non-certified accountants can simply hang up their shingle and open their doors for business. There are no educational requirements. If they want to prepare taxes, most states require a certain number of qualified hours of study plus continuing education hours each year. By contrast, CPAs have usually majored in accounting in college; sat for CPA exams covering theory, practice, auditing, and law; worked for an established accounting firm for…

Unfortunately, law school applicants often find this freedom intimidating rather than encouraging. Too often writers resort to a safe route, and it should be obvious why such an approach would prevent them from achieving the goal of uniqueness. The topic itself need not be revolutionary. Rather, the key to this type and…
